Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' Singer, Responds to Criticism Saying, 'I Can't Even Dignify That With a Response' [VIDEO]
Robin Thicke's hit song Blurred Lines has had a fair share of criticism, but the singer fired back in a new interview Wednesday.
When BBC's Radio 1 asked if the Blurred Lines song was misogynistic, as many critics have, the singer replied, "I can't even dignify that with a response, that's ridiculous."
He further explained his reasoning as to why the song was not intended to be misogynistic.
"I don't want to be sleazy, I'm a gentleman, I've been in love with the same woman since I've been a teenager," he said, referring to his wife, Paula Patton. "I don't want to do anything inappropriate."
The song's video, which features nude models prancing around Thicke and featured artists Pharrell Williams and T.I., has also received criticism, but Thicke explained that he ran it by Patton first.
"My initial response was I love the clothed version, I don't think we should put out the naked version," Thicke revealed. "And then I showed it to my wife and all of her girlfriends and they said, 'You have to put this out, this is so sexy and so cool.'"
Thicke explained that the intention behind Blurred Lines was to examine the blurred lines between men and women, and show how they are the same.
"And the other side," he added, "which is the blurred lines between a good girl and a bad girl, and even very good girls all have little bad sides to them."
Despite criticism of both the song and video, Blurred Lines remains the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, according to a Wednesday report by Billboard. It sits atop the list for its fifth straight week, having sold over 2 million copies since its debut in May.
